HeteroChromia420hi folks! i'm having issues installing KDE Connect on Devuan Beowulf. seems that one of the dependencies (libpolkit-qt5-1-1) depends on libpam-systemd. is there a way to get this dependency met in some other way?00:29
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: try libpam-elogind00:31
HeteroChromia420alright, installing libpam-elogind does say that will remove lxsession-logout and package-update-indicator (which are two things i'm relying on this minimal Openbox Session i've set up)00:33
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: i think you'd probably have to alter the package dependencies on those packages00:34
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: i'm not sure if more work than that would have to be done or not00:35
HeteroChromia420yikes, that doesn't sound much fun. guess i'm staying without kdeconnect then.00:35
HeteroChromia420i can just look at my phone i guess lol00:35
ullet_just some changes to debian/control or something00:38
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: isn't kdeconnect already in the repos?00:38
ullet_but how to get that fixed for other users00:38
HeteroChromia420kdeconnect is in the repos, yes00:38
RhineDevilI'm having trouble with this config, basically there is a dhcp server listening on vmbr0 but the lxc container packets for dhcp requests sent on broadcast can't be seen by wireshark on neither lxcbr0 or vmbr0, please help https://paste.debian.net/hidden/e6923b2800:38
RhineDevilmacvlan module is enabled as well00:38
HeteroChromia420at least i can grab it straight from apt install kdeconnect without needing a 3rd party repo00:38
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: if the one in the repos is depending on libpam-systemd instead of libpam-elogind that might be a outstanding bug or it might be an issue with your install...00:39
HeteroChromia420probably, yeah00:39
HeteroChromia420i'll see if i can install lxsession-logout and the package update indicator with elogind00:40
HeteroChromia420alright, i can.00:45
HeteroChromia420so that solves that00:45
stovepipelol i was trying to figure out why my date was 12 hours off, then i noticed the PM00:48
stovepipewhen did this madness start00:48
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: if this is a upgrade from Debian, you may have some debian packages still scattered around00:48
HeteroChromia420i did a fresh minimal install from the netinstall CD, maybe some of the packages of my openbox session setup script were conflicting with each other? doesn't matter anymore, it's fixed00:50
gnarfacehmm, does the openbox setup script pull packages in from elsewhere?00:51
gnarfaceyes, the important thing is that it works now00:51
HeteroChromia420nope, it just uses apt to get the packages00:51
stovepipeis it like that on all linux now? no longer showing proper 24h time?00:52
gnarfacestovepipe: i assume it's a setting00:52
stovepipeoh i'm sure00:52
stovepipeBUT WHY00:52
stovepipetardification00:53
stovepipedefault output on unix should always be 24h00:54
HeteroChromia420the only thing i do "get" in that script is apt-fast, but i believe apt-fast only fetches stuff from whatever's located in the apt repos so i don't think that would bring any problem.00:55
HeteroChromia420so probably it's a conflict between kdeconnect's and the polkit i was trying to obtain00:57
HeteroChromia420idk00:57
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: i would try to make sure it's using the system sources not something hardcoded or hidden elsewhere that might be pointing to debian repos00:57
stovepipeof course all information is on how to change output on command, and not how to undo this madness00:57
stovepipeso fun!00:57
stovepipeits also forcing xclock to display incorrectly00:59
gnarfacedpkg-reconfigure tzdata?00:59
stovepipetimezone is all correct, its just diusplaying AM/PM instead of proper 24h00:59
gnarfaceor maybe dpkg-reconfigure locales01:00
stovepipenothing in either of those about that01:00
gnarfacetry appending this to your /etc/default/locale file: C_TIME=C.UTF-801:01
gnarfaceor wait no, actually run this: update-locale LC_TIME=C.UTF-801:01
gnarfaceshould do the same thing01:01
stovepipebut i never had to do that on anything before, everything else i have says LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"01:03
stovepipeas does this one01:04
gnarfaceit has changed recently01:05
stovepipesomeone needs to be punished01:05
stovepipethis is bad01:05
ullet_whaa01:05
gnarfacei think this is a case of the old way actually being in violation of the standard, despite being what people were used to01:05
ullet_will C.UTF-8 not break all my old things?01:06
stovepipethis scenario breaks a whole lot of things01:06
ullet_never touch a running system01:06
HeteroChromia420gnarface: looks like that you were right. apt-fast seems to have debian repos hardcoded. looks like we have a culprit then.01:08
gnarfaceHeteroChromia420: good to know01:08
stovepipewhy does beowulf installer create 2 efi entries01:09
rrqit does?01:10
stovepipeit did here01:10
rrqafaik the installer creates 0 entries01:10
stovepipeon my efi boot m enu there are 2 debian entries, they appear to be identical01:11
stovepipethe both boot beowulf01:11
stovepipetoo late now anyway i already deleted it01:12
rrqisn't that "menu" created b the EFI software itself?01:13
stovepipeefibootmgr also sees it01:13
stovepipemaybe i installed twice and dont remember, would that cause that?01:15
stovepipetoo late to investigate now anyway i should have brought it up earlier01:15
rrqthe boot loading would have been installed by grub-efi (something)01:15
rrq... assuming you use grub01:15
stovepipestill had artix and old devuan skidmarks in there, cleaned that all up01:16
stovepipewell yeah grub is on there, but i dont really use it01:16
stovepipei just use the onboard boot menu01:16
stovepipefreebsd devuan and windows01:17
rrqyou may have noted that the beta2 netinstall iso, like the beta, is not fully adapted to the idea of "offline net install" ...01:19
stovepipeheh what even is that01:19
stovepipei saw someone mention that before01:20
stovepipei would assume that if youre offline, a netinstall isnt possible anyway01:20
stovepipeso ?01:20
rrqyeah, it seems to be a common thing, to use netinstall for getting a "minimal system"01:21
stovepipeoic01:21
stovepipei didnt notice any beta2 at all btw01:22
stovepipei dont think01:22
stovepipeused the march 13 spin01:22
stovepipei did notice when i was compiling i was getting time errors01:23
stovepipebuilding something now before i try that change01:23
stovepipeit was complaining about inconsistent time or something01:23
stovepipeoh of course now its not doing it01:24
rrqthat might have been due to the installer not propagating locale setting properly...01:25
stovepipei had already fixed that though01:25
stovepipeits the first thing i did01:25
stovepipei think...01:25
stovepipeheh01:25
stovepipealready went through that in my testing before01:25
stovepipei guess i'll just accept that i didnt01:26
stovepipethis time fiasco is going to break countless scripts and things that expect 24 time01:27
sgagestovepipe: re: the two Debian entries - one invokes shimx64 and the other invokes grubx6401:27
stovepipejust another thing to remember i guess01:27
sgagetry efibootmgr -v and you can see exactly what is going on.01:27
stovepipeheh i already deleted it01:28
stovepipeit would be nice if they were labelled differently01:28
stovepipewonder which one i ended up with01:29
stovepipeSHIMX64 apparently01:29
stovepipeis that going to bite me later01:30
sgagedon't know if it'll bite you later. I didn't like seeing 2, and always deleted01:31
sgagethe second one, and nothing bad ever happened. :)01:31
stovepipei see something about secure boot workaround01:31
sgageYes, shimx64 satisfies secure boot, and requires a signed kernel to boot.01:32
sgagedebian kernels are all signed now01:33
sgageso you can use secure boot if you want to.01:33
stovepipei dont heh01:33
stovepipeso if i build a custom kernel it wont boot now?01:33
sgagethat's a good question. there are ways to register keys and all,01:34
stovepipei'm too old to remember all these little silly things!01:34
sgagebut i'd be lying if i said i understood it01:34
stovepipei dont like knowing things will bite me later01:34
stovepipebut yeah those entries should be labelled differently01:35
stovepipeand also should say devuan and not debian heh01:35
stovepipethats a bit depressing01:35
sgagejust delete the shim* packages if you don't want anything to do with SB01:35
sgageI agree, should be labelled01:35
stovepipebut what would that do to the shim efi entry, which is now the only one i have :)01:36
stovepipei think i'll just leave it alone now01:36
sgagei think the other comes back with update-grub. try it and see.01:37
rrqmight need grub-install ?01:37
sgageif not, try sudo grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --force as rrq suggested.01:37
stovepipemaybe i will just for sanity01:38
sgagefollowed by update-grub01:38
sgageyes, you can just have nothing to do with SB if that's what you want01:38
rrq.. and maybe rename the current menu entry first so it's easier to delete01:38
sgageThat's how I do it.01:38
rrqthe right one01:38
stovepipeheh01:38
sgageefibootmgr -v will help you sort it out.01:40
sgageefibootmgr is very handy if you run lots of different distros and such,01:41
stovepipewhat i should do is rename it so it says devuan01:41
sgageyou can01:41
stovepipei already put it all back the way it was, but now i'm motivated to do that01:42
sgagebefore you run update-grub, edit the ID line in os-release to change debian to devuan, and you'll be good.01:43
stovepipeoh01:43
stovepipeno editing grub.cfg?01:44
sgageno need to edit grub.cfg01:45
stovepipeok i see01:45
stovepipei havent been using linux much in years, i'm still in an old grub state of mind01:45
sgageupdate-grub takes its cues from /etc/os-release01:45
sgageah, yes, old grub was very different.01:46
sgageyou really don't want to mess with grub.cfg these days01:46
stovepipeyeah01:46
stovepipeso i basically have avoided it entirely and end up knowing nothing about grub01:46
sgagedo what you need in /etc/defaults/grub01:47
sgagelots of things that weren't broken have been fixed :-/01:48
stovepipeheh now i have 2 debian and one devuan entries01:49
stovepipeand the one devuan is shim01:49
stovepipewhat happened there01:50
sgagedid you remove the shim packages? did you reinstall grub?01:50
stovepipedidnt touch anything else01:50
stovepipei changed os-release like you said and ran grub again01:51
stovepipebefore i changed os-release it was still creating the same 2 debian entries01:51
stovepipethis time it just created one shim devuan entry01:51
stovepipehois there a limit to the number of boot entries01:52
sgagei just changed os-release to debian, ran grub-install, and have one devuan entry01:53
stovepipethen i deleted both debian entries, but when i rebooted one was still there01:53
sgagepointing to grubx64. i deleted all the shim packages beforehand01:53
sgagedelete the shim packages, and reinstall grub as per the line I gave above01:54
sgagethen update-grub. the debian entries will be leftover, and you should01:55
stovepipebut why isnt it creating 2 like it did before01:55
stovepipei just tried to delete the other debian entry (grub) and it came back again01:55
sgagehave one devuan entry pointing to grubx6401:55
stovepiperight now i have one debian grub and one devuan shim01:55
sgagei am not quite sure what you have tried, and the order in which you tried them01:55
stovepipeefibootmgr -b 6 -B01:56
stovepipeis the debian grub entry01:56
stovepipeit seems to be refusing to remove it01:56
stovepipei wanted to see if it would create 2 devuan entries like it was before i renamed it01:56
stovepipewithout touching any shim stuff01:56
sgageI don't know what your goal is - i thought you wanted to get rid of SB stuff?01:57
stovepipejust out of curiosity01:57
stovepipemostly just observing behavior right now01:58
stovepipeok, deleted again, ran grub-install, efibootmgr -v shows one devuan shim entry at #101:59
stovepipewhy isnt it creating 2 like it was before i renamed it to devuan01:59
stovepipethat seems odd01:59
stovepipeand the debian entry appeared again!01:59
sgagewell, it's signed with a debian signature.02:00
stovepipeoic02:00
stovepipebut... where is it coming from if i deleted it02:01
stovepipeit spontaneously reappears02:01
stovepipeon reboot02:01
rrqmaybe because the boot loader is at /boot/debian/... ont the EFI partition02:02
stovepipeits the same one i deleted bore when i was left with only shim02:03
stovepipe*before02:03
sgagewhen you delete entries from efibootmgr, it doesn't delete anything02:03
stovepipeskidmarks errywhere02:04
sgagefrom /boot/efi/EFI, and on reboot, the firmware will show it.02:04
stovepipeit also shows it in efibootmgr -v02:04
sgagei'm tired and hungry - must check out. we have a riddle wrapped in an enigma.02:05
stovepipeheh02:05
stovepipei already gave up figuring that out02:05
stovepipelol it wont go away now02:10
stovepipenow i have 2 entries for grub, one devuan and one debian02:10
rrqwhat does the EFI partition look like? It should have some few /boot/* directories02:34
rrqor is it /EFI/BOOT/* maybe?02:34
stovepipeBoot debian devuan Microsoft02:35
stovepipe/boot/efi/EFI/02:35
stovepipei guess thats where its coming from02:35
rrqmmm that's the path on your root file system where the EFI parition is mounted, isn't it?02:35
stovepipeyup02:35
rrqso the EFI parition itself starts with /EFI02:36
rrqand then, is there /EFI/windows /EFI/debian ... and a few?02:37
stovepipeso can i just delete that debian dir in /boot/efi/EFI/02:37
stovepipe/boot/efi/EFI/ has: Boot debian devuan Microsoft02:38
stovepipethe debian dir was created at install02:38
stovepipethe devuan one was created today02:38
rrqI would think so; that would stop the boot time EFI to find a "debian"02:38
fsmithredefibootmgr -b XXXX -B XXXX02:38
stovepipeyeah taht doesnt work02:38
fsmithredoh02:38
stovepipekeeps reappearing02:38
stovepipemust be that skidmark dir02:38
fsmithredmight be buggy uefi implementation02:39
fsmithredthey're all different02:39
fsmithredanyway, the reason it says debian is because of grub-efi-amd64-signed, which you can remove if you're not using secure boot.02:40
fsmithredand just use grub-efi-amd6402:40
stovepipei assume the debian entry is due to that debian dir on diskj in EFI dir02:40
fsmithreddebian entry in the grub menu or in the uefi boot menu?02:41
TwistedFatewelp, i fixed the locked fps issue, but now i discovered a new problem. my gpu definitely has thermal throttling :(02:41
stovepipefsmithred: motherboard efi boot menu02:41
TwistedFateit's either faulty or needs new thermal paste :/02:41
fsmithredyeah, that corresponds to the bootloader on the efi partition02:42
stovepipeok now its gone02:42
fsmithredyou made sure you have another one that works?02:42
stovepipeoops lol02:43
stovepipenow it wont boot02:43
stovepipewell i thought i did lol02:43
fsmithredyou get to boot from usb and chroot in to fix it02:44
stovepipehalfway there02:44
rrqstovepipe: apparently your uefi is set up to require signed kernel booting02:44
stovepipewouldnt that have manifested itself before02:45
rrqdoes your freebsd use signed kernel?02:47
stovepipeno idea02:48
rrqand where is its boot loader?02:48
stovepipeno idea02:49
rrq.. probably in /EFI/Boot/02:49
stovepipei boot using the system efi boot menu02:49
rrqthat table gets its entries by scanning the EFI partition02:50
stovepipeoh, also theres 2 efi partitions...02:50
stovepipekeep forgetting that02:50
stovepipethe original windows one, then i installed freebsd, then old devuan wanted to create another one02:50
rrqmaybe uefi menu scans boot?02:51
rrqboth02:51
stovepipeyeah donno i keep forgetting its there02:53
rrqbut anyhow you where supposed to have a "devuan" entry with the non-shim boot loader (or was it the shim?)02:53
stovepipeyeah that was achieved, but the debian entry wouldnt go away02:54
stovepipei ended up with 1 devuan and 1 devbian entry, both grub, no more shim02:55
rrqpossibly the signing clamps the directory name; that is has to be "debian", and therefore grub-install used that even though you had configured to use "devuan"02:55
stovepipeit also created a dir "devuan"02:55
stovepipemaybe that was the old one from last year heh02:55
rrqyes, for the non-signed (and non-working) boot02:56
stovepipewait no the debian one was created on beowulf install date, the devuan dir was just created today02:56
stovepipeok, reinstall grub from the rescue mode didnt work03:01
stovepipemenu item03:03
rrqright... that "devuan" boot (which doesn't work); is that a signed or non-signed boot?03:04
stovepipehow would i tell03:05
rrqls /EFI/devuan03:06
stovepiperan grub manually in a chroot shell, still just drops to grub prompt03:06
rrqis fsmithred around ... he's a grub prompt whizard03:07
fsmithredyeah03:07
stovepipewhy did devuan even require a second EFI partition in the first place back when i installed ascii last year03:07
stovepipealways wondered that03:08
fsmithredthat does not sound right03:08
stovepipewhy didnt it just use the original windows created one03:08
stovepipeit wouldnt let me install without it03:08
rrqdifferent issue... maybe booting first?03:09
stovepipeok so what am i looking for in the devuan dir created today03:09
fsmithredwhat are you booting now? installer-iso or live-iso?03:09
stovepipei see both shimx64 and grubx6403:09
stovepipefsmithred: installer03:09
fsmithredis secure boot turned off?03:09
stovepipehavent looked03:10
fsmithredanyway, get a shell in the installed system and run03:10
fsmithredgrub-install03:10
stovepipeboth shimx64 and grubx64 were booting before03:10
fsmithredupdate-grub03:10
stovepipeyeah i did that already03:10
stovepipestill drops to grub prompt on boot03:11
stovepipethis started after i deleted that debian dir in EFI03:11
stovepipewhat created that03:11
stovepipethat was created at install time03:11
fsmithredgrub-install should create that03:11
stovepipeit didnt03:11
fsmithredunless you give it a different name with --bootloader-id=03:11
stovepipeits touching the devuan dir contents03:12
fsmithredwhich won't work with secure boot03:12
fsmithredthen use --bootloader-id=debian03:12
fsmithredthat will probably work03:12
stovepipeand thats a clue to secure boot being enabled03:12
stovepipe?03:12
stovepipebecause its signed debian03:13
fsmithredyeah03:14
stovepipewouldnt i have noticed if secure boot was on before, with all the random stuff that ive been running on it03:14
stovepipeif i turn it off will it break something else heh03:14
fsmithredwell, you need to go through the bios settings to see what it is03:14
fsmithredare you dual-booting with windows?03:15
stovepipewindows/freebsd/devuan03:15
fsmithredwin might need it03:15
stovepipei dont even see secuer boot anywhere in bios03:15
fsmithreddo you have network connection while you're in chroot?03:16
fsmithredyou could try reinstalling grub-efi-amd64-signed03:17
stovepipeok, secure boot is not enabled03:17
fsmithredok, then you shouldn' tneed the -signed package03:17
stovepipeso the new devuan dir should be being used, but apparently it still wants that debian dir03:18
stovepipeis just changing the ID in os-release perhaps not enough03:18
stovepipethat command you posted above will re-create that debisn dir in EFI?03:19
stovepipegrub-0install is touching the files in the devuan dir, grub.cfg and grubx64.efi03:20
stovepipebut booting the entry drops to grub prompt03:20
stovepipegoing to change it back and see what happens03:22
rrqprobably grubx64.efi has the hard coded pathname "/EFI/debian" in it03:24
stovepipethat would explain why the devuan entry was working while the debian entry would go away03:26
stovepipe*wouldnt go away03:26
stovepipeand when did "hit F11 for boot menu" turn into hit F11 50 times03:27
stovepipeheh03:27
fsmithredthe -signed package needs the debian directory03:27
stovepipesometimes if i only hit it a few times it ignoresd me03:27
stovepipeok i changed os-release back to debian and now both are back again03:27
stovepipeand its working03:27
fsmithredgood03:28
rrqbut "ugly" :)03:28
stovepipefsmithred: ok so back to that again03:29
fsmithredif you want your boot menu to say devuan, you can change it in /etc/default/grub03:29
stovepipethis grub-efi-amd64-signed03:29
fsmithredGRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Devuan03:29
stovepipewhat is that doing03:29
fsmithredthe signed package is providing whatever microsoft wants to see to let you boot your own computer03:30
stovepipethat is so evil03:30
fsmithredlol03:30
stovepipecomputers were more fun when they were complicated and scared people away03:31
stovepipenow they are complicated in illogical ways03:31
fsmithreddepends on your logic03:31
stovepipelol03:31
stovepipedonkey logic03:31
fsmithredthe logic of descending control03:31
fsmithredanyway, this is OT03:31
stovepipeRIP civilization03:32
stovepipeheh03:32
fsmithredthis grub issue is mentioned in the release notes03:32
fsmithredwhich you probably can't see yet03:32
fsmithrednm, sorry03:32
stovepipeheh03:32
stovepipesame one you showed me the other day maybe03:32
fsmithredmaybe03:33
fsmithrednot sure when I added the grub part.03:33
stovepipethe ryzen vega video thing was just the m issing ati-firmware package btw03:33
stovepipeweird boot messages like every 3rd boot, failed to obtain info for control of something something03:36
stovepipeabout audio03:36
stovepipeyet audio seems to work03:36
stovepipelike 50 of them spit out in the console during boot03:37
stovepipebut nothing in messages03:37
stovepipealso what appears to be some kind of crash or warning when loading amdgpu03:39
stovepipeseveral at every boot03:39
stovepipeyet video also appears to be working fine heh03:39
stovepipeWARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 480 at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/calcs/dcn_calcs.c:1372 dcn_bw_update_from_pplib+0x89/0x290 [amdgpu]03:39

openbsdtai123Hello, how can I debootstrap from source to /target dir? PKG=vim,netbsd,alsa-utils,less,gcc,make    how to make  this command look like with beowulf?08:57
openbsdtai123(from source)08:57
uniqueNamehello, I have been having a bit of trouble installing virtualbox in Beowulf. It doesn't seem to be available in the repos.09:01
golinuxuniqueName: I think it's in contrib so you'll have to that to sources.list09:06
uniqueNameah, thanks. I'll try that09:06
uniqueNameI think all my contrib sources are turned on...09:07
uniqueNamehuh. according to https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=virtualbox&release=beowulf it doesn't seem to be there at all.09:08
golinuxIt's definitely there: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pkgweb-query?search=virtualbox&release=any09:08
golinuxCheck backports then09:09
uniqueNamedo those exist in repository form?09:10
uniqueNameoh. I read ceres backports09:10
uniqueNameBeowulf backports don't seem to exist09:10
golinuxI'm still on jessie so flying blind09:10
golinuxMaybe someone who's current will drop by09:11
golinuxI need sleep.09:11
uniqueNameok, it seems beowulf backports do exist. good night!09:11
golinuxHope it works out09:11
golinuxBye09:12
uniqueNamethanks for the help!09:12
rrqascii-backports has virtualbox-5.2.24, and ceres has virtualbox-6.1.6 .. might work for you09:24
openbsdtai123I managed to install virtual box with debootstrap and amd64 here the method: https://openbsdtai123.shell.ircnow.org/devuan.html   I will update the page with the amd64 kernel and modules to run virtualbox, and put vm deb file too next week.09:49
openbsdtai123I updated my� page how to run virtualbox and install it from debootstrap method.09:56
openbsdtai123I just uploaded on my webpage all the necessary to run virtualbox without using backdoor and just using debootstrap: https://openbsdtai123.shell.ircnow.org/devuan.html10:06
openbsdtai123have fun with virtualbox !10:08
ullet_hehe10:10
ejrhi! is there a way to get a list of all packages that are installed on a base devuan system after one has chosen which DE etc one wants to install (on netinstall)?14:04
ejrofc i could just create a list with dpkg-query -l after a new installation, but I am not running on a fresh install... still i would like to check which packages were part of the fresh install and which ones were added later by users14:04
ullet_maybe you can query when a package was installed?14:12
ullet_and sort by that field14:12
rrqgrep Package: /var/lib/dpkg/status14:19
rrqor maybe you'll need to look at /var/log/apt/history.log14:20
ejrthanks, i will try both :)14:29
ullet_wonderful when someone who knows the subject comments14:29
GyrosGeierdpkg --get-selections15:07
GyrosGeierthat gives the list of packages currently installed, as well as the desired status according to the dselect database15:07
GyrosGeierunless you use dselect, desired status should be equal to actual status15:08
buZzdoes devuan target ppc64el aswell?15:40
fsmithredbuZz, yes15:40
GyrosGeieroh15:40
fsmithredhang on15:40
buZzooo nice15:40
fsmithredhttps://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/15:41
fsmithredpoke around in there and see if you can find what you need15:41
GyrosGeierI should switch over my TalosII then15:42
buZzcool15:42
fsmithredI did manage to do a ppc64el install in qemu using the mini.iso, but it doesn't boot.15:42
buZzi should first add more hw to this powerpc15:42
buZzbut my gf seems to have a quad G5 in the closet15:42
buZzjust missing cdrom,hdd and gpu15:42
fsmithredand I should add that I know nothing about ppc64el.15:42
buZzsame :)15:42
buZzi wonder if a quad G5 is even faster than a raspberry pi15:43
GyrosGeierthe RPi is famously shite hardware15:44
fsmithredalso note that those installer images have been tested minimally or not at all15:44
buZzGyrosGeier: sure, but a ~12 year old powerpc , even quad, versus a current armv8 quadcore?15:45
buZzjust not sure if its even worth the effort to fix this machine up15:45
buZzi agree the case is really nice @ the apple hw, but thats practically the only appeal it has :D15:46
fsmithredI was using a 14-year-old athlon X2 up until a couple months ago.15:46
buZzwhat did you replace it with?15:46
buZz'a 13 year old one'15:46
buZz:D15:46
fsmithredi5 quad15:46
buZz10th gen? :D15:46
fsmithredmore like 9 years old15:46
buZzah so, 2nd gen? give or take15:47
fsmithreddell inspiron desktop (free as in beer)15:47
buZzi7 1st gen is soooooo much slower than i3 10th gen15:47
buZz:D15:47
fsmithredIntel(R) Core(TM) i5-2310 CPU @ 2.90GHz15:47
specingit also doesen't run Minix, booo15:47
specing(and who knows what else)15:48
buZzah, i guessed correct :D15:48
buZzmy workstation at home is a 4th gen 'core' xeon15:49
buZzso , haswell-R , its pretty nice15:49
ullet_very low Xorg use for mednafen emulator opengl->gl4es->opengl-es !  ~14%15:56
ullet_at 60fps mostly fullscreen15:56
ullet_this is confirmation that SDL with opengl backend can run efficiently on Droid415:56
* ullet_ hands out beverages15:56
ullet_compare to sdl->x11 using 40%+ cpu for similar amt of blitting15:57
openbsdtai123I need to try minix too16:37
bgstack15anybody here ever used the .deb release of BlueJeans video conference application on devuan with all audio input and output working?20:17
bgstack15It loads up with apulse, but never found my mic input.20:18
gnarfacei don't think apulse works for inputs20:19
bgstack15Ah, I will research that further. Thanks. Never even thought of that.20:21
gnarfacedoes it absolutely require pulseaudio?20:21
gnarfacesometimes stuff that claims to require pulseaudio can still be managed with bare alsa and some ~/.asoundrc customization20:22
bgstack15Bluejeans wouldn't load the window contents at all unless I wrapped it with apulse.20:23
gnarfaceoh, well that's a bad sighn20:23
bgstack15So it looks like apulse does support "a single microphone" https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse20:23
gnarfacesign*20:23
bgstack15So I'll fiddle with setting the environment vars to poitn to the right input device and report back here.20:23
bgstack15sighn: that makes sense here, though!20:23
gnarfacehmmm20:27
gnarfacei tried to make apulse work for steam but made no progress20:28
gnarfacegood luck20:28
masonbgstack15: Note that the BlueJeans app is just a packaged Chrome. You might be better off with Chromium or actual Chrome.20:33
bgstack15oh really, will try that next. My manipulation of env vars for APULSE_CAPTURE_DEVICE did not help when running the (electron?) app from the .deb release.20:38
gnarfaceyea or just like... any other video conferencing app that's actually in the repos and supported.  i've never heard of bluejeans but you've already shared enough to prove to me it is pure evil20:38
bgstack15my apulse made Firefox, or something else work. I forget what exactly atm. Maybe Telegram?20:38
bgstack15It is a hard requirement for this one thing.20:38
bgstack15I've already validated it works on my remaining Fedora box.20:38
bgstack15But that won't stay Fedora forever.20:38
gnarfaceoh, i was able to make apulse work for firefox playback during the brief period when no firefoxes in the debian repos had bare alsa support enabled, but i wasn't able to make it work for steam in-home streaming or anything else that required more advanced features than "play this youtube video"20:39
gnarface(and at the time i was informed by a non-authoritative entity that this was beyond the scope of apulse)20:40
gnarface(all that information could be inaccurate, it's just what i've been going on)20:41
* gnarface would video conference with ffmpeg and ssh20:42
bgstack15That sounds cool.20:42
bgstack15But jitsi works too and is way easier.20:43
gnarfacehmm, i have heard little specific about jitsi but it seems to have a good rep20:43
bgstack15I cannot get my blasted router to properly forward ports so my local installation of jitsi has failed. But the LAN usage of my jisti instance works.20:43
bgstack15but there's the public instance of it at meet.jit.si which works fine (in Chromium) on Devuan20:44
gnarfacehmm, the only trick i know for forwarding traffic into an uncoooperative router is to tunnel out to a remote server and have your clients connect to that instead20:45
gnarface(ssh again)20:45
gnarface(though any vpn would work)20:45
gnarfacewhat happened to ekiga? i'm not seeing it in the repos now...20:46
gnarfacedid they rename it agian?20:46
bgstack15sounds like current name. https://www.ekiga.org/20:47
gnarfacelast seen by that name in ascii, apparently.  before that it was gnome-meeting.  i wonder why it got pulled from beowulf/buster20:48
gnarfaceanyway, i think that was the most popular one20:48
bgstack15I think ekiga itself is dead though20:48
gnarfaceyou could even use vlc for this if it's just 2 people20:48
gnarfacethe port-forwarding issue would become a complication though20:49
bgstack15If I could walk a person through doing vlc chatting, then they would also be able to set up a jitsi webrtc session... so yeah20:49
gnarfacedisturbing that this is such a poorly served niche20:51
gnarfacei confess i don't have any friends though so this hasn't been a big issue for me20:51
gnarfaceif you decide to go to a backup plan though, i can help you with the ssh tunnels20:52
bgstack15I have simply stopped my local jitsi efforts. I have no external endpoints for doing an ssh tunnel.21:04
bgstack15My family was satisfied with meet.jit.si21:04
bgstack15and I expect that even if the NSA wants to log the conversation, Jitsi itself doesn't have the resources to do so.21:04
crhyloveMorning my anti corporate friends!21:13
masoncrhylove: We're only discorporate in #debianfork. In here we single-mindedly support Devuan.21:19
enycuerm21:26
enycbeta.devuan.org  claims 3.0.0  current stable21:26
enycmaybe that is corrcet for "beta page" i.e. will bocome main page21:26
crhylovemason, Good to know! :)21:30
crhyloveI support this.21:30
enyccrhylove: uerrr what?21:46
openbsdtai123MinceR: hi mincer, flde is available if you want...22:09
openbsdtai123MinceR: run just:   cd ; mkdir ~/coding ; cd ; cd coding ; svn checkout --username=<myid>   https://svn.riouxsvn.com/flde22:10
MinceRthanks, i'll keep it in mind22:11
openbsdtai123well, the prob is that no idea how to set svn rioux so that it can be without login downloaded (svn checkout)22:12
bgstack15anybody here have any luck with apulse and mic input?22:12
crhyloveenyc, What are you asking?  LOL22:13
openbsdtai123bgstack15: this I did it already, I used apulse in past. I touched .asoundrc see : https://openbsdtai123.shell.ircnow.org/devuan.html   (see example, asoundrc was working with skype).22:14
enycChanServ: you are confusing me " mason, Good to know! :)"22:15
enycuragh22:15
enyccrhylove: youu are confusing me " mason, Good to know! :)"  -- don't know who 'mason' here is22:15
masonenyc: I'd offered sage advise as to the relative goals of #devuan and #debianfork.22:15
enyco argh how did i miss that22:15
enyci was sclonlling back far22:15
masonI've got ninjalike stealth. Happens. No worries. But anything non-Devuan-supportish is best over there -->22:16
bgstack15thanks openbsdtai123: I will read and try to learn the dark art of .asoundrc22:18
openbsdtai123 MinceR: FLDE fltk desktop, we have committed already fljotter, and more is coming. screenie https://openbsdtai123.shell.ircnow.org/data/flde-desktop.png  Maybe tomorrow, fldata or other fltk apps22:19
MinceRnice22:20
MinceRdo you have a file manager yet?22:20
openbsdtai123Yeah, there are 3 file managers by default. I have to check the code before.22:20
MinceR:)22:20
openbsdtai123the fltk flterm but it is alpha/beta.22:21
openbsdtai123MinceR: with fluid, it is quite easy to design any gui and extend it over svn. your contribution to mod is welcome.22:25
golinuxopenbsdtai123: Please take your personal projects/promotion to #debianfork,  This is a DEVUAN support channel.22:57
golinux(This channel has recently acquired some really s-l-o-w learners.)22:58
MinceRmake devuan packages, get them into the official repos and advertise that here :>23:39
plasma41o/23:40
crhyloveIs there an easy way to get github in the official repos?23:47
plasma41crhylove: github is proprietary software, so no23:49
crhyloveIs there a way to clone github, and add to a none proprietary repo?23:50
MinceRdepends on what you mean by "cloning" it23:51
plasma41git clone23:52
MinceRthere are some git repo hosting service software that are free23:52
MinceRsuch as gitea, gogs and gitlab23:52
onefangI use cgit.23:52
